Our mission is to support the socioeconomic well-being and development of the district.

Our Story:

The Maitland and District Development Association (MDDA) was formed by a group of passionate community members over 20 years ago. The MDDA was founded on a mission of encouraging economic development and supporting the many small businesses in our district.

Early in our history we took on the challenge of saving an important historic building in the district: the Selma School. With significant local and government fundraising and many, many hours of donated labour, the school was reclaimed and renovated. The building was renamed the Selma School Cultural Centre and has been the home of Gallery 215 for over 10 years.

Our Board of Directors is made up of local community members with an interest in the socioeconomic success of our region. You can contact the Board by emailing mdda@gmail.com for more information. We are always looking for new members.

Our Events:

The MDDA depends on fundraising events and activities to support the ongoing maintenance, repair and development of our properties and initiatives. Signature events include:
